SPINACH 



lent spinach to sow in the fall, but we do not 

 sow it in the spring. It runs to seed very 

 rapidly. In the fall I think it is one of the 

 best. 



"We do not use any fertilizer at all, but 

 put the spinach on ground highly fertilized 

 for celery. If I were going to start it in 

 the spring, I might give it some amount be- 

 low 500 pounds an acre. I believe that we are 

 using as much fertilizer at South Lima as is 

 used in any section where they are growing 

 truck. On my early celery I do not use less 

 than 3,500 pounds an acre. That is for celery 

 grown in double rows 3 feet apart, center to 

 center, double row system requiring about 

 60,000 plants an acre. I find I can get quicker 

 results by using a large amount of fertilizer. 

 The earlier I can get it the more money I 

 can get from it. We can grow a crop of late 

 celery with 500 pounds an acre."
